Here’s another one for our new Immigration Minister Monte Solberg. A Panamanian and an Algerian get into a dust-up outside a Montreal subway. The Algerian, a Moslem, was shouted at by the Panamanian. When the Algerian, a Moslem iman, confronted the Panamanian, he received a shot in the face. The Algerian’s pals chased the Panamanian who stabbed one of the pursuers. The Moslems are hollering hate crime.

Oh, yes, almost forgot: both these brawlers are under deportation order, but, of course, are still here disrupting the streets of Montreal with their nonsense!

“A 31-year-old man charged with stabbing a Muslim cleric outside a metro station was denied bail yesterday. Quebec Court Judge Jean-Pierre Boyer ruled Juan Carlos Arauz-Miranda would remain behind bars until his next court appearance, scheduled for March 14. The reasons for the judge's decision and the evidence presented at yesterday's bail hearing are covered by a publication ban.

Faycal Zirari was returning home by metro from afternoon prayers Friday when a man in the subway car began shouting at him in Spanish. When Zirari confronted the man, he was punched in the face. Zirari and his two friends followed the fleeing man outside the Iberville metro station. During an altercation, Zirari and one of his friends were stabbed. The three men restrained the attacker until police arrived.

Although Zirari and members of Montreal's Muslim community claim the assault was a hate crime, police are not characterizing it that way. The Criminal Code defines a hate crime as "the promotion of hatred of any identifiable group." No members of the Muslim community were at the court hearing yesterday. Ironically, both Arauz-Miranda and Zirari are subject to deportation orders.” (Montreal Gazette, February 15, 2006)

In another matter, CTV (Feb. 14) reported: “Two mosques were vandalized last week in nearby Laval. Over the weekend, some 250 Muslims gathered near McGill University to add their voices to worldwide protests against the caricatures. A confrontation erupted when a small group of people advocating free speech tried to join the rally."

Thoughts for Mr. Solberg:

1. Why is either of these characters still here? Deportation should mean a prison cell until a plane, boat, or leaky canoe can be found to haul the illegal away.
2 Also, it rather suggests that multi-cult and massive immigration from wildly different cultures just don’t work.

3. Why not shut down the thought police at the meddling Canadian Human Rights Commission and use the money to hire enforcement officers to remove expeditiously – that means now! – those ordered deported?

4. Shouldn’t all newcomers be read the riot act. In Canada, we have freedom of speech. You have the right to express your opinions and others have the right to disagree with you. Actually, there are some communities who’ve been here for a while and who are always lobbying for more restrictions on what Canadians can say who ought to be reminded of this too.

No bail for imam stabbing suspect
Will stay in jail until next court appearance

Arauz-Miranda is due to be returned to his native Panama and Zirari will eventually be sent back to Algeria.

CBC Feb 13 ... "Salam Elmenyawi, the head of the Muslim Council of Montreal believes it was a hate crime. Elmenyawi is advising Montreal Muslims not to venture out alone after dark and to avoid taking the metro alone. He says he's heard from others in the community that violence is on the rise. He says many Muslims are insulted in the streets, and verbally harassed. The Muslim Council of Montreal is also setting up a hotline for people who want to voice concerns."

Here is the article where I took that picture from. It basically is an article talking about how he supports Israel. He basically echoed Paul Martin who says Canada shares Israel's values. So maybe he isn't really jewish. But still...that name. It says in Wikipedia he opposed the bill supporting gay marriage. That's interesting. Perhaps he is another Christian Zionist.
